Pros
The highly responsive support team, dedicated points of contact, the intuitive user interface, the ability to create your own automations, and the team’s openness and flexibility when it comes to customer requests
Great support from Sweet, flawless system with few interruptions
The advanced search finds documents even by words inside the content.
Workflow automations make it easier to approve, assign, and move documents according to the process.
Easily relate documents and objects to each other with metadata. Easily add new types of metadata, document classes and workflows. Easily find documents with metadata-based searches. Documents can be automatically converted to PDF with administrator-controlled sign-offs (version number, date approved, etc.) when finalised.
Reviews
Cons
There isn’t much to criticise. A few minor features are missing, such as the ability to filter for empty values in the CRM, for example.
Duplication of images and files in case management
The initial learning curve can be a bit steep for those coming from traditional systems.
Some integrations require technical configuration, and the mobile app could be more fluid.
Not possible to set separate access rights for metadata and document content.
Administrator tool (M-files Admin) could be more user-friendly, and some administrator functions are not available in M-files Cloud. Free text search works very poorly, often giving no matches unless the search string is exactly right.
